Michigan Town Wiped Out.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June IA fire almost
swept the town of Marshfield out of exist
ence this afternoon. and 200o people are
homeless. The loss is not less than 81 00o,-
600 The communication by wire is cut off
and il is impossible TO learn particulars. A
locomotive spark started a blaze at noon in
the lumber yard Of the Upham furniture fac
tory and il rapidly developed into raging
fire that spread toward the town. Insult
cient fire protection facilities prevented any
resistance and soon several tlourishing facto-
ries, the business blocks along main street
and adjoining residences were wrapped in
flames. The people gathered such house
hold effects as they could and fed to the
woods The heat was SO intense that , 500
feet of the Wisconsin Central track. which
runs along one end OF the town, was bent
aud twisted into the most grotesque shape.
1t cannot be repaired ON this account until
tomorrow. Specials from Stevens Point
and Chippawa Falls conveyed fire engines
to the place, but the fire was beyond all con-
troll But one store and few half-burned

Many people were transferred by specials TO
neighboring towns and Others cainped on
the outskirts. Among the buildings that
were destroyed were a wooden-wae factory,
the grist-rniIl saw-Inill and factory of the
Upham Manufacturing Company, the rre-
mont and several minor hotels, warehouses
along the Wisconsin Central. its depot, four
churches and the entire business centre. The
insurance is less than one fifth of the loss.
II is impossible to obtain detailed particn-
lars OF the fire tonight The meagre ac-
counts received of it come from neghboring
towns whose hospitality has been thrown

Battle Between Fayette's Sheriff
and Hungarians

CoNSELLsyILLE, June 24.-Eyer since the
riot at Jimtown at the beginning of the
present coke strike, there has been more or
less trouble in the region, and the attempt
to arrest any Of the participants usually re-
suits in open defiance Of law, and resistance
to the officers. This morning Sheriff Miller,
accompanied by four or five deputies, went to
West keiscnring To arrest some ofthe parties
implicated in the Jimtown riot.
The Sheriff made one arrest and was about
10 leave, when he observed an immense
army of Hungarians advancing toward him,
with tne evident purpose of making an
attack. There were between 200 and 300 in
the horde of assailants, every one of whom
was armed 10 the teeth some bore clubs
many hourished revolvers, while others dis
played knives which glistened in the morn
ing sun as they We're brandished about by
their ignorant owners. The scene was a very
startling one to the sheriff and the foreign-
ers seemed to become more infuriated every
step that they advanced They never halted
bnt pounced upon the officer and his posse
and in very few minutes secured the re-
lease of the prisoner, who made good his
escape. In the attack it is estimated that
some 400 shots were fired, the Huns keeping
up continuous FIRE, while the sheriff and
his Deputies poured the contents of Spring
field rifles into the attacking party. Strange
to say only one person was injured but he
fatally. He belonged to the Huns and il is
supposed that he was shot by one Of his own
party. The ball entered near the heart and
will prove fatal The sheriff and his depu-
ties escaped without any injury

Blaine Abroad.

LONDON. June 27.-The jubilee is over and
most of the crowned heads and great digni-
tares have departed People are now paying
greater attention TO the distinguished per-
sons who remain with them. James C.
Blaine bids fair TO become great social lion.
Invitations from the most distinguished
families in London are pouring in upon him
and il Is one increasing swirl of dinners and
parties and receptions, In the American
colony Mr.. Blaines advent is hailed with
delight American politicians here however
are beginning to talk knowingly about the
frequent conferences held between Mr..
Blaine and Senators Frye and Hale, of Maine
and aver that il has some political signi.i-
canoe in regard to 'ss. This. however, is
sheer nonsense. The frequent conferences.
If such they may be termed, are merely the
result Of three old friends being in a foreign
city together. who take the opportunity of
having friendly little chat over their visit
TO England. This evening Mr. Blaine met
Joseph Chamberlain, having been invited to
dine at Mrs. Teure's for the express purpose
of making the acquaintance of the Birming-
ham Radical. Mr.. Teure's salon is well
known to all distinguished politicians

REFERENCE 10 the tabulated returns on
the adjoining page viii show the result
of the primary election held on Saturday.
The ticket nominated is strong one. its
individual members are all active, inhu-
ential Republicans who stand near the
public heart. and their election is only a
question of time and of majority. The
struggle for the different positions on the
ticket was an esrnest but amicable one
and has left but few scars behind. OF
course there are the usual disappoint-
ments among the friends of the defeated
candidates, but the popular verdict will
be cheerfully acquiesced in by all. II is
now the duty of every Republican to add
his individual mite toward swelling the
majority. Every man who cast a ballot
for his favorite candidates at the primary,
is in honor bound TO sustain the ticket
then and there nominated, from top to
bottom, whether his hopes and wishes
were gratified or not, In no other way,
except by ready acquiscence in the pop
ular verdict, when fairly expressed, can
party organization be preserved and party
success be certainly assured. We urge,
therefore, upon every Republican in the
county to give this ticket mis- earnest,
hearty and Jealous support. A good, old
fashioned majority for it viii place the
party in good shape, solidly united, fol
the all-important Presidential campaign
of next year. Close up the ranks, friends

lion. were given for the capture of flags from
the enemy. An alphabetical list Of these
medals was compiled under the direction OF
General Drum, The first name on the list
is that of Private F. G. Anderson, Eighteenth
Massachusetts,, who got his medal for cap
turing the flag of the Twenty South
Carolina on the Weldon Railroad. Next
comes that of private J.. Il. -Adaina, First
West virginin Cavalry. who captured the
.fiag of the Fourteenth Virginia Cavalry at
Nineveh Third On the list is Private X. W.
zimmerman, One Hundred and Forty eighth
Pennsylvania who captured the flag of the
Eighth North Carolina af Spottsylyania. So
the list goes on. Out of the first eighty
the proportion is still greater, no fewer than
fifty-three receiving the medal for the cap
ture of flags from the enemy. Another re
markable point to be noticed in this list is
that very great number of the receivers OF
the medals were private soldiers. 0fthe first
thirty names no fewer than sixteen were
those of nor-commissioned officers. 1t is
certain that most of these heroic achieve
ments were performed by enlisted men, Their
comrades being witnesses to their prowess.
Accordingly, it is not surprising that the
project of the President and his War Secre-
tary to get rid of these visible emblems and
proofs of gallant deeds, should have aroused
storm of Indignation among the veterans
in every State which furnished men to the
Union Army

A Peculiar Well.

PARKERsBURo, w. VA, June 27.--A man
named John Hughes, living near Fayette-
vile. in this State, owns well that is in
itself "a wonderful natural curiosity His
farm is on a table land about 900 feet above
the bed of New river Some years ago he
dug well and reached water at depth Of
thirty feet This well is near TO New river
1t has never been known to go dry, but what
is most remarkable about it is the fact that
the column of water in il rises and falls
with New river. No matter how small or
how grea, the rise or fall in the river this
well marks il exactly. Raftsmen who wish
TO know the stage of New river come To this
well, saving often quite long journey and
getting just as accurate record. This pc
culiar condition of things is youched for by
some of the best citizens of Fayette county.

The Supreme Court Bench.

WASHINGTON, June 27.--It is accepted rs /,
certainty now that Secretary Lamar is to
succeed Justice Woods on,the supreme bench.
Whois to succeed Mr.. Lamar is uncertain.
Mr.. Lamar is 81 years old-older than Mr.
Cleveland would like the new justice to be
but he is active and able to fill such a po-
sition with honor aud the president has con-
cluded that he is suitable man for the po-
sition. The senate committee. when they
reported iayorably upon the nomination. OF
Judge Merrick to the supreme bench of the
District of,olumbia. adopted resolution
fixing il as rule of action that in the future
they would not report favorsbiy upon any
one for such position who was over 90 years
old Mr. Lamar, however, was but lately
their colleague. and senatorial courtesy would
demand that they violate this resolution in
his ease. Should it happen otherwise. he
would find himself suddenly reIegatel to
private life
